Tenant Cloud accounting??

[Adam Lippa]

Hello,

I did a bit of research on here (and other websites) and decided that I wanted to give TenantCloud.com a shot for rental/tenant management. I opened a free account the other day and started playing around with it (currently renting both sides of a duplex and if all goes well will be closing on a 3 unit apartment next week). 

It certainly has some less than positive reviews on the web for its ease of use, especially on the tenant end, but my hope is it is improving and I'm sure nothing is perfect (especially at the $0-9/month price range). 

It seems like the system requires every expense to be billed to a tenant. Has anyone found if there is a way to track expenses such as owner paid utilities, taxes, general maintenance without showing them as being billed to a tenant?

Anyone using a free/low cost program they like? I currently have a somewhat large excel sheet, but I would love something that let me take pictures of receipts and track them automatically. 

Thanks!

@Adam Lippa I've been using Tenantcloud for years. I had the same question regarding expense tracking. 

A good solution would be adding yourself as a service pro, and if you don't want certain invoices to be visible to the tenants, assign them to a service professional. 

Hope it makes sense!:)
